Parameters

BaseName

Name of the base feature (see Remarks)

ProgId

COM or .NET callback object; empty string if VBA (see Remarks)

MacroMethods

Array of strings of size 9 only for VBA; "" otherwise (see Remarks)

ParamNames

Array of strings of the names of the parameters

ParamTypes

Array of the types of parameters of size paramCount as defined by swMacroFeatureParamType_e

ParamValues

Array of strings of the values of parameters

DimTypes

Array of the types of dimensions as defined by swDimensionType_e (see Remarks)

DimValues

Array of values of the dimensions

EditBodies

Array of IBody2 objects to modify in the macro feature

IconFiles

Array of strings of the files names for the icons (see Remarks)

Options

Placement of the macro feature in the FeatureManager design tree as defined by swMacroFeatureOptions_e (see Remarks)

Return Value

BaseName

ProgId

MacroMethods

The macroMethods argument is implemented for VBA only. The array of nine strings consists of the following values:

1. Filename - File executed during feature generation.

2. Module - Source module executed during feature generation.

3. Procedure - Source procedure executed during feature generation.

4. Filename - File executed after edit definition is selected.

5. Module - Source module executed after edit definition is selected.

6. Procedure - Source procedure executed after edit definition is selected.

7. Filename - File executed while querying security; optional, see the next paragraph.

8. Module - Source Module executed while querying security; optional, see the next paragraph.

9. Procedure - Source Procedure executed while querying security; optional, see the next paragraph. 

Filename should be the full pathname to the macro file. If the procedure resides in the same macro file that calls IFeatureManager::InsertMacroFeature3, then a call to ISldWorks::GetCurrentMacroPathName provides all of the information necessary for the Filename.

IModelDoc2::ListAuxiliaryExternalFileReferences returns an array containing the names of the features that include external references and an array containing the names of the external files for Filename elements 1, 4, and 7 in the array.

The list of:

If a security procedure is not used, then Filename, Module, and Procedure must all be empty strings.

Procedure names must have an swm prefix in the name. This prefix identifies the procedures to execute. 

DimTypes

Only these dimension types are supported by this method:

• swAngularDimension

• swLinearDimension

• swRadialDimension

IconFiles

The array of the file names for the icons can contain either three or nine strings.

Number of strings in array	Types of images in this order	Image format and sizes
Three	Regular Suppressed Highlighted	Windows bitmap (*.bmp) format 16 pixels wide X 18 pixels high
Nine NOTES: This size array is only valid for macro features created in parts, assemblies, and drawings in SOLIDWORKS 2017 and later. SOLIDWORKS displays the appropriate images based on the current DPI setting of the display device.	Regular small Suppressed small Highlighted small Regular medium Suppressed medium Highlighted medium Regular large Suppressed large Highlighted large	Windows bitmap (*.bmp) format Recommended sizes are: Small: 20 pixels wide X 20 pixels high Medium: 32 pixels wide X 32 pixels high Large: 40 pixels wide X 40 pixels high

You can specify either the full path name or just the file name for the strings; for example, c:\bitmaps\icon1.bmp or icon1.bmp.

Options

swMacroFeatureOptions_e.swMacroFeatureEmbedMacroFile is not supported by programming languages for the Microsoft .NET Framework; for example, not supported by C#, Visual Basic .NET, or Managed C++.
